## Reviews

### "Simple, Effective Bidding Tool for Municipalities" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 August 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Entirely web-based interface that is easy to use without needing significant training
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of customisation options for landing pages, bid structure, etc.
> 
> Functional and easy to use but lacks functions that advanced users may be looking for

-----

### "Director of Contracts and Purchasing" — 5.0/5

> **Neil** | *13 August 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of Use. Vendor Outreach. Comprehensive Program.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons that I have experienced. Any recommended improvements, PlanetBids has been receptive in considering them.
> 
> I've used PlanetBids for about seven years. I used another program in between those years and found PlanetBids to provide the best value.

-----

### "Value" — 3.0/5

> **Paul** | *13 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The price is reasonable and adds value for our department.
> 
> **Cons**: Not user friendly / intuitive, Needs hands son training.
> 
> Procurement automation.

### "City of Norwalk" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *12 July 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to consolidate all procurement activities onto one platform so that both staff and the public have access to all purchasing activities in one central location.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not like the fact that we are unable to set a release date on the system. For example, if I need a solicitation released on a day that I am unable to post it myself, it would be convenient to have that as an option, especially for our day-to-day smaller solicitations.
> 
> I have used PlanetBids in multiple agencies and have found its utility to be an essential part of daily operations. It is easy to use, track, and manage.

-----

### "A well developed application" — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *26 October 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The online bid submittal process is the most impactful feature of the application.  We previously used a system that advertised bids online but received hard copy bid documents.  Planetbids helps eliminate the clerical errors in the bid tabulation, which is a major contributing factor in bid protests.
> 
> **Cons**: The numbering system in the Q\&A response should be more flexible.  When issuing batch responses, the user does not know the question number until the system assign them, therefore, make it difficult to reference a similar answer to the question.
> 
> We try to reach more contractors with PlanetBids because the system is widely used by the contracting community.  We were also trying to minimize the occurrence of bid protest due to clerical errors.  PlanetBids has helped us achieve both of our goals.
